Wege
Pretzel Company located in Hanover, PA, is one of the oldest and
respected names in the pretzel baking industry. Wege (pronounced
wig'gie) is the name of a family that began baking breads and rolls
during the late 1800's. A German immigrant baker who was working his way
across the country went to work for Wege Pretzel Company during the
early 1920's. While employed, he taught the Wege Family an old German
recipe for making a large Sourdough Hard Pretzel, the one for which Wege
is now famous. Wege's variety of pretzels now includes whole wheat
varieties, flavored, all natural, organic, and Kosher delicacies.
